  • Demographic Profile of House District 61
    June2012 2020 Demographic Profile of House District 61 A Special Report to Representative Marsha Judkins Prepared by the Strategic Initiatives Group Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE RESEARCH AND GENERAL COUNSEL John Q. Cannon, Director John L. Fellows, General Counsel June 1, 2020 Representative Marsha Judkins House District 61 RE: Demographic Profile of House District 61 The Strategic Initiatives Group within the Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel has created a detailed demographic profile of the legislative district that you represent. This profile contains summaries of information from the American Community Survey, which is an ongoing nationwide survey that is conducted by the United States Census to produce information on social, economic, housing, and demographic characteristics. The information from the American Community Survey contained in this profile was obtained between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2018, making it the most recent, accurate, complete information available. The Strategic Initiatives Group was created to conduct long-term strategic planning to inform policy analysis on issues of statewide concern for decades to come. We hope the 2020 profiles prove helpful as you not only identify trends and issues but also as you evaluate proposals that are intended to benefit the constituencies within your district. This profile not only provides detailed demographic information about the constituents within your district, but it also provides a comparison of this information to other legislative districts and to the statewide average. After redistricting, when legislative districts are redrawn, we will produce profiles of the new districts. This 2020 profile may be useful then, as a comparison to your new district.

  • 2021 Legislative Wrap up Document
    UTAH LEAGUE OF CITIES AND TOWNS LEGISLATIVE2021 WRAP UP #Cities Work INTRODUCTION 2021 was a legislative session like no other: new Governor, new legislators, COVID-19, Zoom voting, and an earlier start date after several 2020 special sessions. ULCT successfully nav- igated the 2021 General Session by relying on the League’s pillars: respecting the roles of state and local government, collaborating with stake- holders, and targeting policy-focused outcomes. ULCT took a hands-on approach with over 60 bills—testifying, negoti- ating, writing language, 245 and other advocacy BILLS TRACKED work—in addition to the INTRODUCTION 245 bills we tracked. Despite many bills preempt- ing local government authority, ULCT effectively defeated legislation mandating digital billboards, expanding short-term rentals, and increasing bureaucracy around fees, to name a few. ULCT invested significant resources negotiating and amending two preemptive land use bills, and will continue discussions with legislators on inspec- tions, building design elements, and internal ac- cessory dwelling units. Several bills supporting and improving law enforcement were passed due to the efforts of the Love, Listen, Lead Task Force, a joint ULCT and Utah Chiefs of Police Association endeavor. The Legislature also passed an unprec- edented investment in transit and transportation projects, efforts supported by the ULCT Board. Ultimately, our success comes back to the unpar- alleled involvement by our members. Thank you! Of course, the session also created plenty of is- sues for the 2021 interim, including continuing discussions on water, land use, public safety, and much more. We encourage members to engage with the League through the Legislative Policy Committee, ULCT conferences, and League com- munications.

  • Utah Rural Summit, It Is Vital That We Embrace and Adapt to New Practices for Traveling, Socializing and Learning
    October 6, 2020 R i STEPHEN LISONBEE We have a rich history in Rural Utah of being resilient - a sense of toughness! Our history has shown us the road map of how we respond to challenges and opportunities. We are currently in the middle of something significant and our ability to be tough together is helping us lift meaningful efforts that are ensuring we have vibrant and thriving communities. CARINE CLARK Rural Utah' is not just one place -- it is a collection of vibrant and diverse communities that hold the keys to unlocking the future growth and opportunities for our state. We must plant the seeds favorable to our own future success. People forget that long ago, Lehi, Utah was considered rural -- and now it's ground zero for one of the nation's fastest growing tech communities. Imagine what we can do when we really try. DERRAL EVES As we look to impact Rural Utah, we should explore and analyze its history. Today more than ever, we need to have the same level of innovation, determination, and resilience of those who came to this great state with hope for a brighter future. Let us mirror that hope and drive for our future, but not be stuck in “the same old way” of doing things. ERIC SCHMUTZ Rural Utah has a deep connection to getting things done. However, in today’s world of global economics the value of small and simple things can often be overlooked or even lost. We should never underestimate the beauty and power of sticking to the basics.
